whats data mining
technique used to identify patterns or outliers in large sets of data,
problem with data mining
often involves handing personal data , so must follow data protection act rules
what are herustics
a non-optimal, ‘rule-of-thumb’ approach to problem-solving to find an approximate soloist ion to a problem that would otherwise have been to time consuming or resource intensive
what is performance modeling
eliminates the need for true performance testing by providing
mathematical testing methods
whats piplining
output of one process in pipelining
becomes the input of another,
whats visualisation
Data can be presented in a way that is easier for us to understand
What is backtracking and How does it work
A problem-solving technique implemented using algorithms, often
recursively.
visiting each path and building a solution based on the paths found to be correct. If a path is found to be invalid at any point the algorithm backtracks to the previous stage and visits and alternative path
